Im not sure it was a lie, from the bill:
Page 143, Line 3, Section 246: “No Federal Payment for Undocumented Aliens. Nothing in this subtitle shall allow Federal payments for affordability credits on behalf of individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States.”
Don’t be fooled. This language is just to get the bill passed through Congress.
The Dems know that just as the courts ruled that illegals must be given access to our public education system, the courts will rule that illegals must have access to our health care system.
The Dems know they can pass a bill ostensibly denying coverage to illegals, and then the courts will then make health coverage for illegals mandatory.
It was a lie by omission!
What Obama DOES NOT say is that Democrats actually voted AGAINST a specific provision in the health care bill that would have checked citizenship status.
Lacks 2 things:
1. A mechanism for proof of status
2. A mechanism to discourage illegals from attempting to obtain credits.
A lie based on omission is...a lie.
